i don't feel nearly as ashamed or hesitant to talk about my queer tgirl attraction to men as my tguy brothers would feel talking about their attraction to women

obligatory "if you're a trans guy and your attraction to women is het, that's real and okay! your trans experience isn't a monolith and other trans people being different doesn't make you different or wrong"

like, think about it: hardly anyone bats an eye when a tgirl uses grindr or calls herself a faggot, but as soon as a man calls himself a lesbian, everyone gets on his ass. anything for an excuse to shit on lesbians, i guess. it makes me angry that nobody sees this hypocrisy or these ties back to the lesbian separatism that infected the community post-70s. it's not gone, it never went away

this isn't exactly profound news to anyone who gives a shit about lesbian history. just something i find interesting

what a beautiful mess 2 make

just to be clear, i mean these two positions (the scapula winging in pic 1 and arm pose in pic 2) occurring at once, resulting in a propped-up-shoulder-blade-pillow

was laying in bed this fine evening and suddenly remembered a random post by a hypermobile person explaining that they always used to sleep in a pose that DISLOCATED their shoulder because it was the most comfortable. and i thought to myself, "pfft- i could never do anything like that," and i remembered that they "flipped [their] shoulder blade to use it as a pillow"

guess what position my arm was in at that exact moment.

Being very much intersex because of my PCOS is wild. Any time a "supportive" PCOS community is asked if someone could possibly count it as intersex, they become livid and insist that literally no one with pcos could ever be considered anything other than "standard XX AFAB SIF" and that it's shoving people into boxes to suggest otherwise. I just kind of have to sit there silently while they talk about how horrible it is for anyone with PCOS to want to call themselves intersex.

like oh actually!! haha no I definitely was very androgynous and masc for a little girl and was hated for it. yeah teehee hahahaha I get it no but I have an extreme excess of testosterone that left me at the center of endless ridicule for my entire childhood. yeah and the medical scrutiny/discrimination/urge to "fix" me too!!! I know right?? crazy!!! crazy how people who are intersex have a reason to call themselves that !!!

[ID: A 2-panel comic. The first panel shows a gray cartoonish figure excitedly reaching out to grab a yellow ball. This ball is labeled, "Getting diagnosed to receive necessary accommodations and treatments to improve my QOL." (QOL meaning Quality of Life). The second panel shows a large pink blob-monster with an unsettling expression holding the gray figure back, preventing them from reaching the ball. This blob-monster is labeled, "47's admin trying to make an autistic registry, gutting accommodations, and throwing away disability rights." The gray figure is looking backwards at the blob-monster sweating, being frightened or annoyed, but still smiling. End ID]

[ID: A 2-panel comic. The first panel shows two buttons directly next to each other, with a hand tentatively hovering between them. The first button reads, "Getting diagnosed to receive necessary accommodations and treatments to improve my QOL." (QOL meaning Quality of Life). The second button reads, "Remaining undiagnosed and deteriorating to avoid risking the loss of my rights at any moment under 47." The second panel shows the man to whom the hand is attached, sweating and dabbing at his head nervously with a cloth. He is labeled "Disabled person who knows what they have and just needs it put on paper." End ID]

Hermaphrodite is not a slur it is the correct term for someone with a penis and a vagina. Bigenital sounds like a blood disease.

I envy the audacity, anon. Imagine saying this shit to a fucking intersex person.

being an intersex person who isnt a waifish hairless elf devoid of any visible sex characteristics i honestly think if i was a fictional character id be denounced as a transphobic stereotype

You all need to start annoyingly asking people why they tagged omegaverse fics and bigenital furry porn as "intersex" on certain websites. If everyone collectively got really irritating about this maybe the intersex tag would actually be available to be used for yknow. Fucking intersex people.

It is genuinely fascinating how many feminist cis women, including those who are on paper openly supportive of trans people, struggle to actually think about trans men as a concept.

A few months ago I ended up having a very long talk with a friend of a friend. She told me that she'd never really spoken to a trans man before, the only trans people she knew were trans women. There was a point, after the third time I reminded her that I was a man, that she just sorta of slotted me into her mental box of "man", and I could tell that happened because after that point she started trying to explain things to me as if I was a cis man.

I categorically do not "pass" and likely never will. I'm very short, my hips are prominent because I'm fat, I keep my hair long, charitably I could be said to have a baby face, I have D-cups and cannot bind due to spinal problems. To the majority of cis people I do not "look like a man".

But for the rest of the conversation I had with this friend of a friend I had to keep reminding her of how other people are going to view me, because there was no room in her mental idea of "man" for a man who is not treated as one. This was not malicious on her part, she was very nice to me, and I believe her when she says she wants to support trans people. I do not think she was lying when she told me how horrified she was to learn about how her trans woman friends were treated.

She said she was envious of me going out alone and how I need to understand that's a facet of male privilege and I asked her to look at me and explain why I'd be any safer. She was shocked to learn that I've been catcalled, been assaulted, that I regularly get spoken down to by cis men, shocked to learn I don't have a single transmasc friend who hasn't. She couldn't understand that I'm going to be treated the same by misogynists as any fat cis woman who doesn't wear makeup. There was no room in her feminism for trans men, because there was no room in her understanding of gender for men who are not cis.

We ended up talking about politics. She told me she was terrified of abortion being banned, and that this would never be a threat if men could get pregnant.

hey. hey. trans person. listen. you're allowed to be angry. you're allowed to spend nights sobbing from how betrayed and hurt you feel. you're allowed to scream into the void. you're allowed to want to fight the whole world when it seems against you. trans people deserve to feel more emotions than just "mourning" and "celebrating" because above everything else you are a person, and you don't need to restrict yourself to emotions that are marketable and non-threatening.

anyone in your position would be angry. you are not a monster for allowing your body to process those emotions. you are not going against your community's principles by being upset in an "unseemly" way. trans liberation as a movement came from people angry about how they were being treated, and that anger makes sense.

your community loves you, and we all feel that rage sometimes. you're not alone.

calling people “slow” is still ableist even if you learned it from Sabrina Carpenter

There's a certain fear to being completely unable to mobilise without a mobility aid at all that I think it's hard for even other disabled people not in the same boat to understand. If something happened to my crutch I would at best be able to hop for a few steps (or more accurately what I like to call the zombie walk, because my left leg kind of just drags behind me) and that would more than likely just end in a faceplant. For non-ambulatory wheelchair users it would be much, much worse. I would not theoretically still be able to get home or to safety regardless of pain or difficulty or amount of time it would take, I would be stranded. That's something that is always in the back of your mind when you are out alone. Mobility aids break, they can be stolen if you aren't using them. So much rests on an object that isn't attached to your body.
